Outside Rick's mansion, all the members arrived safe and sound. The mechanics Stan and Koji were still shaking from Robby's rough driving. Eva was having a little trouble parking her rig, but finally got it.
They unpacked everything; Rick selected their rooms for them. Keeping the mechanics in the larger guest room. Don had to bunk with Zarek, and Eva took the neighboring room to theirs. Rick gave Silva the room across from his.
The trailer haul was placed in the garage with rig one and two, while Silva's main rig sat out front. Ready if they had to move to another place.
Silva then took Zarek to his house, returned and helped him unpack his stuff in his room.
"Hey Silva," Koji asked, looking at her as she lounged on the couch once more. "Can I sit there?"
She cracked an eye open, pulling her legs tight against her body and scooting farther up on the couch so he could. She gave a yawn and closed her eyes once more. Koji sat, and then began fiddling with his computer trying to get a signal from anything. His computer crashed every time he almost succeeded. Koji gave out a frustrated groan and put his computer on the coffee table.
He leaned against the couch, almost falling asleep. When a roar of rage woke them up, Silva jumped up like someone shot her.
"SHE DID WHAT!" The voice came from Zarek and Don's room.
Oh, crap! Please tell me Zarek didn't spill! She got up and ran up to their room. Followed shortly by Rick, Eva and Koji who hadn't fallen asleep yet. They all peeked into the room to see Zarek trying to calm the old man down.
Rick looked at her, his sunglasses hiding his worry filled eyes. She shrugged in reply.
"Calm down Don, or your going to blow a gasket!" Zarek attempted again, and failed miserably.
"Calm down! Calm down! If I so much as find Silva getting close to my pilot, I'll, I'll-" His hands balled into fists.
"You'll do what to me?" Silva stepped into the room boldly. Don turned to her, barely suppressing his rage. She just stared at him for a moment and shrugged again. "I thought so," turning away, as she was about to leave the room.
Don ran up to her, "Silva!" She turned and got blindsided by the old man, smashing against the wall.
Her eyes flashed dangerously, "Oh, hell no! You didn't do what I think you just did." Wheeling on Don Wei. Rick pulled the two teenagers out of Silva's way as she trudged back into the room and slammed the door closed.
"Don't hurt my dad or you'll regret it!" Eva yelled prying herself loose and banging on the door. She then turned to Rick, "Can't you unlock the door, or something?"
"Eva, I don't think Silva would go as far as to hurt your dad," he began, but was interrupted by something slamming against the heavy door. "Or I could be wrong…"
Through the door, "Old man, you just earned yourself one large ass whippin'!" Then something struck the door again, which groaned under the stress.
"Let him go Silva!" Zarek ordered.
They heard a struggle and some more yelling, but it all stopped in a couple of seconds. The door creaked open and a limping Silvamane stumbled out. Zarek followed close behind with Don who had a black eye. At that moment Silva whipped around and sidestepped Zarek, slamming Don hard in the shoulder. Zarek managed to stop her from doing any more harm.
"Asshole!" She struggled in Zarek's grip. She gave a hiss as he pushed against the bruise that was growing on her shoulder blade. "Let Go!"
"Not until you calm down," Zarek replied sternly, pinning her face first against the wall.
She resisted a little more, but stopped when Rick helped Zarek to keep her pinned.
"Dad, are you okay?" Eva inspected his black eye and where Silva had hit him.
"I'm fine, but as for you! Silva. I expect you to treat me with more respect!" Pointing at her as he glared through his black eye…
